Tech Tips on Use:
Remove the engine oil pan to reveal the big-end and its retaining
set-screws. Remove excess oil and release the big-end shells by
unscrewing the set-screws. Apply a smear of grease to the journal
and small quantity of silicone release agent to the shell.

Trim a length of PLASTIGAGE to fit across the journal using the grease
to hold it in place. Replace the shell and tighten the set-screws
to the recommended torque setting, without rotating the journal.
Now remove the shell to reveal the PLASTIGAGE which will have been
spread across the bearing surface as a stripe or band. Match the
width of the stripe against the calibrated gauge on the package, and
read the clearance.

The PLASTIGAGE stripe ideally should be
removed with a clean oily cloth or degreasing solvent. However, any
remaining PLASTIGAGE residue left behind will simply dissolve in motor
oil and will not harm the engine in any way.
